    I splurged and bought an Ultra Light tabletop kiln to help with
    making those jump rings. I *had* planned to keep practicing with the
    torch alone, but finally decided to get the kiln as a late birthday
    present to myself. It was, after all, a MAJOR birthday--the kind
    that makes you realize that delayed gratification no longer makes
    sense! 

    I'm still working with a butane mini-torch. The flame is strong
    enough and the price ($7) is right--but it's too small for working
    on rings in the kiln. My hand has to be uncomfortably close to the
    heat. 

    I assume that the solution to this is to get a "real" torch with a
    long neck, so my hand will be out of the heat. Any opinions on the
    Hoke torch? It's $50.
